KinetAsyst 2.2 Hi-Tech Scientific Software Package

The TgK Scientific / Hi-Tech Scientific KinetAsyst SF-61 Series Stopped-Flow Spectrofluorimeter System is a high performance stopped-flow spectrometer with outstanding optics and sample handling capabilities. Available as both single mixing (SF-61SX2) and double mixing (SF-61DX2) models, the KinetAsyst is the instrument of choice for the study of rapid reaction kinetics.

The KinetAsyst system is a fully integrated, computer-controlled instrument.

Just a glance at the capabilities of the KinetAsyst system will indicate how the instrument can bring high quality scientific results to the newcomer and experienced kineticist alike.

The KinetAsyst features a high performance optical system that combines low stray light with high throughput. A modular approach allows the appropriate selection of monochromators, light sources and detectors according to the reaction being studied. Multi-wavelength absorbance analysis from a single shot using the KinetaScan diode array detector can be especially useful for small quantities of samples. Fluorescence polarization and anisotropy measurements are fully software controlled, whilst conductivity allows the study of fast conductimetric reactions.

Reference channel optics offer outstanding stability and immunity from interference to allow smaller signal changes to be followed. Ease of use is enhanced by an auto calibration.

Bringing added versatility for multi-wavelength analysis for both absorbance and fluorescence, even into the deep UV part of the spectrum. The KinetAsyst is fully programmable for number of shots and wavelength.

The unique flow circuit design ensures that the minimal amount of solution is used for each experiment. This is particularly important if the user is using mutant enzymes (or other proteins) or equally novel materials. A robust ceramic stop/waste valve gives extended life to the most commonly replaced component.

The robust nature and careful design of the flow circuit has led to it being an instrument of choice for users wishing to carry out their experiments under anaerobic conditions - the containment of reagents under low oxygen conditions is quite feasible.
